Big Green Egg Grill – Smoking and BBQ

The great thing about the Big Green Egg Grill is the diversity of cooking choices that you have available to you, including the option of smoking foods, grilling, as well as outdoor baking.

The Green Egg Grill is a well designed barbecue that’s easy to set up and very simple to use.  It is available in a number of different sizes, depending on the amount of cooking that you need to do.  It comes in a mini version, what they call an original version, large, and extra large.  Obviously the more food that you tend to cook with each barbecue, or the more guests that you entertain, then the more cooking space you need.  This will usually lead you to one of the larger models.  If you’re in doubt give the company a call since their customer service is excellent.

This grill is very functional in all types of weather.  So even if you live in northern climates you can obtain great cooking results even in the middle of winter when it’s snowing and cold.  The key is the unique shape and construction of the BBQ which uses ceramic for the walls.  The ceramic material can withstand very cold temperatures, and it also allows the grill to heat up to as much as 1800°F.  Of course when you’re outside cooking in the middle of a snowstorm your next door neighbor may think that you’re a bit odd, but they won’t think so the next time you invite them over to try some of your barbecued food.

The construction of the Green Egg Grill allows it to maintain a consistent temperature for a long time even though you are using traditional charcoal.  For example, if you want to slow cook ribs or other meets at a very low temperature, say 250°F for several hours you don’t have to worry about temperature variations nearly as much as you would with a normal BBQ.

This barbecue is very versatile and allows you to slow cook your food, but it’s also great for smoking meats and grilling different types of vegetables and fish.  You can also use this grill to simulate a brick oven to cook pizzas with exceptionally flavorful.  Everyone’s heard about the famous fire cooked pizzas in New York, and this grill can simulate those conditions with the extreme heating and brick ceramic walls.

As well, there are a number of accessories that are made specifically for this grill, including a walk gadget that allows you to stir fry rice or vegetables very easily.  Another accessory that many people will find useful is the handy fish great.  Grilling fish has always been a difficult thing for many people to master, because it is very easy to overcook fish and lose all of the flavor and enjoyment.  With this barbecue even the most novice chef should be able to create tender fish dishes with the slow consistent cooking.

This is a long-lasting product, and your investment should last for many years.  Conventional barbecues cannot come close to some of the flavors that are achievable with the Green Egg Grill.
